Call us what you like -labels don’t phase
Go ahead write us off- love rewrote the page
Might be called hysterical no therapy no plan
Could pay the debt secured for us 
Through nail scarred hands  
Chorus
If I'm radical (call me radical) (last X Yes, I'm radical)
Cause Christ saved me, (Jesus saved me lastX)
Tearing the veil, re-setting (Jesus tore the veil lastX) kindling
This fire in my bones
Can't be contained
Grace met me, breaking free-( last X now I'm free)
this radical (call me radical lastX)
Verse 2
Walk into His light -no more compromise
We don't need no counterfeit -fire always dies
Won't be disillusioned, bow or take a knee
No claim they hold remains on us
We’re branded by the King
Repeat chorus
Bridge
No turning back, no watered faith
He gave in Blood- there's no mistake
Chorus 
Yes, I'm radical…

Radical

海の歌 — Umi no Uta (Song of the Sea)

An homage to Japanese sound artists, from the crew of the Enigma

(Verse 1） 
朝日昇る　浪速の港 
Asahi noboru Naniwa no minato 
(Rising sun over Osaka’s harbor)

潮風運ぶ　夢と歌 
Shiokaze hakobu yume to uta 
(Sea breeze carries dreams and songs)

船は進む　希望の波 
Fune wa susumu kibō no nami 
(The ship sails on waves of hope)

遥か彼方　光目指して 
Haruka kanata hikari mezashite
 (Toward distant light, we journey on)

(Chorus）
 心ひとつに　歌おう 
Kokoro hitotsu ni utaō
 (With one heart, let’s sing together)

海のリズムに　揺れながら 
Umi no rizumu ni yurenagara
 (Swaying to the rhythm of the sea)

大阪の空　君に捧ぐ
 Ōsaka no sora kimi ni sasagu 
(Osaka’s sky, we dedicate to you)

雨風花子　讃えよう

夜の灯り　港に揺れ 
Yoru no akari minato ni yure
 (Night lights shimmer in the harbor)

仲間の声が　響き合う
 Nakama no koe ga hibikiau 
(The voices of friends echo together)

音の波間に　心を乗せて 
Oto no namima ni kokoro o nosete 
(We set our hearts upon the waves of sound)

未来へ続く　航路を行く

Cast of characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST timbale, production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began as Carl's tribute poem to our drummer, Ken. Carl came up with the chord progression and started a project, to which he invited the rest of us. This is the third song Eclectic Collective has done that is a tribute by Carl to one of our members.  We couldn't feel more honoured than to be the subjects of his wild and boundless creativity.
  Fittingly, Ken was first in line to add his magnificent drums. Once we had drums, Josh had something to work with to add his bass, which he did shortly after the drums were up. Mark paid the project a visit next, helping out with a bit of production editing, and dropping in a mad percussion solo using his VST timbale drums. Stephen jumped in soon after, adding the melodic electric guitar riffs that appear throughout. Not to be outdone, JJ added some sonically thickening electric piano, as well as the throwback psychedelic synth that pops up towards the end. Finally, Tez came along and added the electrifying solo that appears about a third of the way in, as well as the one at the end. 
  Once the recording was finished, we turned it over to Stephen to mix in his always professional manner. 
  This song is all about our very talented teammate and brother, Ken, and it is well deserved, too. As mentioned, this is the third song from Carl about one of us. It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone who you respect take the time and energy to think about you in such a positive way as to produce a song about you. Then to have all your buddies join in to amplify it to a solid song is just mind-blowing. We are all very grateful to Carl for not only sharing his music with us, but for his thoughtful consideration of each of us as subjects. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

(Original lyrics by The Perfect Dark)
Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture

Rhythmic mountain maestro
Each day, graft, working hard
So kids can eat
Bruised back sees very best of yard

Still, beats get born of evenings
Deep love finds joules to jam
May generation X soothe meaning
Let's teach the younger pussies what we can

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture
Sticks in hand
Cymbals a floating
Snare and bass backbone gland
Tom'ed Ringo Star man keep quoting
Keep life steady paced by hand

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave
